A TOP designer played David Bowie song This is not America and a model wearing pants with "f*** your wall" written on them are the latest protests to President Donald Trump's controversial immigration policies.

Raf Simons, who designed a line for Calvin Klein, opened and closed his show with the 1985 track at New York Fashion Week.

The Trump administration's plan to build walls and fences to deter illiegal immigration will costing an estimated $21.6 billion.

Reuters on Thursday revealed details of an internal report by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) that estimated the cost of covering the entire border. It called for the first phase of construction to begin in San Diego, California; El Paso, Texas and the Rio Grande Valley.

Republican Congressman Will Hurd - whose district spans 800 miles of the Texas-Mexico border - blasted the plans.

He said: "Building a wall is the most expensive and least effective way to secure the border."

He said his district includes rough terrain where "it is impossible to build a physical wall."

The estimated price tag in the report is much higher than a $12 billion figure cited by Republican President Donald Trump in his campaign and estimates as high as $15 billion from Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan and Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.
